Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

I would say that answer choice C is the best out of this selection. Carbon is the main element in organic compounds, and organic compounds just so happen to make up the cells that carry out life processes for all living things. Hope this helps.

When Carbon is combined with other molecules like oxygen, hydrogen, Carbon forms essential compounds  for the maintenance of life, including sugars, alcohols, fats, aromatic esters, carotenoids etc. In fact the carbon composes the cell itself since it forms the basic structures of the cell membrane: Cholesterol, Phospholipids, Carbohydrates.

Hope this helps! :)
